Archival Item
318949.1234 Crowd seated in amphitheater. People seated on the stage of the 'Greek Theatre' in Califronia. This looks like it could be California, by the trees. This is not Lillian's graduation in 1915, which was in Providence. I wonder EHB if Lillian brought her gown with her when she and Frank went to the PPIE in 1915, which might explain some of these California-specific images with her in her graduation gown, such as 318949.0805 and 318949.0883 and 318949.0865. Acc. no. 318949.1234 says 'Greek Theatre' on the slide; and sure looks like a graduation.

318949.1186 Blurry image of two hands taking metal objects that almost look like show horns off of a wooden storage rack. What this is is a close-up of part of the 'Gilbreth Packet' used to hold machine pieces in order of assembly; the image documents the worker's hands pulling off the pieces in order of assembly. This is the base group assembly B1-17 of a braider. See also neg. no 99-30277 for a view of the whole set-up.

318949.1161 Very chaotic looking chronocyclegraph of handkerchief folding. No Gilbreth number. Similar to the series depicted in 618-G70 and 618-G69, but many more cycles. This looks like the worker has not been 'standardized,' not even for an hour.
